[FIREWALL]

Hi All Hope you all can help.

I have a HP Pavilion\ Altec Lansing laptop.

When I go to turn it on I get the Windows blackscreen with the, Start Windows Normallly, Last known Config, ect. ect.

It then goes to the Windows xp with the little lite bar . So far so good. then I get a blue screen with this.

STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
The registry cannot load the hive (file)
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
It ic corrupt, absent, or not writable.
Beginng dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator
or technical support group
for further assistance

Then it cycles back thru the same thing over and over.

Any ideas how I can fix this ?

I Thank You all for any help.

Am standing by.
